Through kiwi.com, I had booked a day trip to Riga, Letland, with the following schedule (on three different independent tickets):
BRU-RIX BT602 0940-1305 A223
RIX-TXL BT213 1820-1900 A223
TXL-BRU SN2590 2050-2210 A319
Brussels Airlines yesterday cancelled SN2590 and rebooked me on SN2588:
TXL-BRU SN2588 1840-2000 A320
That allowed me a negative connecting time of minus 20 minutes in Berlin. Impossible of course. But kiwi.com offered me alternatives, most of which entailed a night stay either in Riga or Berlin, which I didn't want. The only alternative without a night stay is as follows:
BRU-RIX BT602 0940-1305 A223
RIX-SXF FR2600 1410-1450 B738
SXF-BRU FR166 1935-2105 B738
Very little time to visit Riga, indeed, but some time for an excursion within Berlin. I accepted, and thus, my day trip to Riga becomes a day trip to Berlin, via Riga! Brussels Airlines lost a customer because of its cancellation, and Ryanair gained one, thanks to SN...
Not as funny, but a cancellation of the whole trip would have given me a reimbursement of 10 euros only.
PS: SN2588 is also cancelled today!
